In 1965, the song began to attract airplay at radio stations in Boston and throughout Florida. The growing airplay led Tom Wilson, the song's producer, to remix the track, overdubbing electric instruments and drums. This remixed version was released as a single in September 1965. Simon & Garfunkel were not informed of the song's remix until after its release. The remix hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending January 1, 1966, leading the duo to reunite and hastily record their second album, which Columbia titled Sounds of Silence in an attempt to capitalize on the song's success. The remixed single version of the song was included on this follow-up album. Later, it was featured in the 1967 film The Graduate and was included on the film's soundtrack album. It was additionally released on the Mrs. Robinson EP in 1968, along with three other songs from the film: "Mrs. Robinson", "April Come She Will", and "Scarborough Fair/Canticle".

The song's origin and basis are unclear, with some thinking that the song commented on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, as the song was recorded three months after the assassination, though Simon & Garfunkel had performed the song live as Kane & Garr two months before the assassination.[7] Simon wrote "The Sound of Silence" when he was 21 years old,[8][9] with Simon explaining that the song was written in his bathroom, where he turned off the lights to better concentrate.[10] "The main thing about playing the guitar, though, was that I was able to sit by myself and play and dream. And I was always happy doing that. I used to go off in the bathroom, because the bathroom had tiles, so it was a slight echo chamber. I'd turn on the faucet so that water would run (I like that sound, it's very soothing to me) and I'd play. In the dark. 'Hello darkness, my old friend / I've come to talk with you again.'"[11] According to Garfunkel, the song was first developed in November 1963, but Simon took three months to perfect the lyrics, which were entirely written on February 19, 1964.[12] Garfunkel, introducing the song at a live performance (with Simon) in Harlem, in June 1966, summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, and not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so that what you see around you is people who are unable to love each other."[10]

The lyrics of the song are written in five stanzas of seven lines each. Each stanza begins with a couplet describing the setting of the scene, followed by a couplet driving the action forward and another couplet expressing the climactic thought of the verse, and closes with a one-line refrain referring to "the sound of silence". This structure is supported by a melodic contour, where the first and second lines are paired with the arpeggio A-C-E-D and a repeat a step lower, respectively. The arpeggio is then stretched to become C-E-G-A-G and repeated twice in the second couplet. For the last three lines, the contour then leaps from C to the higher A, rises to the higher C, and then falls back to the A before singing the stretched arpeggio in reverse and finally retreating to the lower A.[19] The progress of the lyrics through its five stanzas places the singer into an incrementally increasing tension with an increasingly ambiguous "sound of silence". The irony of using the word "sound" to describe silence in the title lyrics suggests a paradoxical symbolism being used by the singer, which the lyrics of the fourth stanza eventually identifies as "silence like a cancer grows". The "sound of silence" is symbolically taken also to denote the cultural alienation associated with much of the 1960s.[26] In the counterculture movements of the 1960s, the phrase "sound of silence" can be compared to other more commonly used turns of phrase such as "turning a deaf ear" often associated with the detachment experienced with impersonal large governments.[by whom?]

The first stanza presents the singer as taking some relative solace in the peacefulness he associates with "darkness" which is submerged "within" the ambiguous sound of silence.[30] The second stanza has the effect of breaking into the silence with "the flash of a neon light" which leaves the singer "touched" by the enduring ambiguity of the sound of silence. In the third stanza, a "naked light" emerges as a vision of 10,000 people all caught within their own solitude and alienation without any one of them daring to "disturb" the recurring sound of silence.

In the fourth stanza, the singer proclaims in a declarative voice that "silence like a cancer grows," though his words "like silent raindrops fell" without ever being heard against the by now cancerous sound of silence. The fifth stanza appears to culminate with the urgency raised by the declarative voice in the fourth stanza through the apparent triumph of a false "neon god". The false neon god is only challenged when a "sign flashed out its warning" that only the words of the indigent written on "subway walls and tenement halls" could still "whisper" their truth against the recurring and ambiguous form of "the sound of silence".[5] The song has no lyrical bridge or change of key, and was written without any lyrical intro or outro to start or end the song.

When director Mike Nichols and Sam O'Steen were editing the 1967 film The Graduate, they initially timed some scenes to this song, intending to substitute original music for the scenes. However, they eventually concluded that an adequate substitute could not be found and decided to purchase the rights for the song for the soundtrack. This was an unusual decision, as the song had charted more than a year earlier, and recycling established music for film was not commonly done at the time.[128]

Well, it did on my new iPhone 7plus. Just got the phone and first use of alarm did NOT go off. Both my mute button and DND were on. I assume they've either changed it on the new phone or via the software. It not only didn't sound, it wasn't silently running either. In the past, a missed alarm was the first thing on the screen when you looked at your phone. In my case, no message at all, but the alarm was still green (on) and it was set for AM not PM. This is crazy! I had this problem with Samsung phones and that's why I switched back to Apple.

Your alarm will still sound with DND on. But, there are a few times when it didn't go off for me and I think it was because my vibrate switch was on. Typically, if DND is off, but your vibrate switch is on (meaning you have it set so calls and such will not make sound by way of that switch on the side) then your alarm will still go off. However if your vibrate switch is on while DND is on, i believe it silences the alarm.

TThe only way to silence the alarm is to have the ringer volume off so make sure you have it all the way up to hear tthe alarm when it's on vibrate mode/mute or DND mode. always have my phone on mute with vibrate but the ringer high so my alarm is loud enough

If you use the clock app in IOS, it will sound even if DND is urned on. If you download an alarm clock app from the app store, it will NOT sound. An approach is to use the scheduled DND, and turn it off, say, 5 minutes before alarm time.

I've loved #Disturbed for its blatant heavy sound, but I have to say their covers are by far my favorite part of what they do. I didn't think they would ever top Land of Confusion, however this song just leaves it in the dust. There is just something so ethereal and powerful to hear a singer who has DEFINED himself with a very distinct vocal style sing completely contrary to that style.

In Simon and Garfunkel's version it's like they have been living in this world forever and all they have left is the ability to softly cry out against what they see is wrong. So there is this air of crushing sadness that permeates through the entire song and ends with this quiet admission that they failed to end the sound of silence.

With David it's more like he just realized this is the real world he has been living in. So it starts of with this haunting reflective sadness like remembering something depressing but significant from your childhood, then he at first gradually, and then rapidly shifts from frustration to anger at the FOOLS who would not take his arm or hear his words. Finally shifting to a depressing acceptance like Simon and Garfunkel that he also failed to end the sound of silence.

This is a great song that I love, and it is very intelligent and poetic. The song uses the imagery of light and darkness to show how people's ignorance and apathy destroys their ability to communicate even on simple levels.Its theme is man's inability to communicate with man. The author sees the extent of communication as it is on only its most superficial and "commercial" level (of which the "neon sign" is representative). There is no serious understanding because there is no serious communication - "people talking without speaking - hearing without listening". No one dares take the risk of reaching out ("take my arms that I might reach you") to disturb the sound of silence. The poet's (character in the song) attempts are equally futile (" . . . but my words like silent raindrops fell within the wells of silence"). The ending is an enigma. The words tell us that when meaningful communication fails, the only sound is silence.

I've already posted on lyrics (see above)... but the Disturbed version is also notable, in that it builds dramatically: Draiman's tone is softer and more mellow, until it becomes more forceful with "Fools..." -- and then again becomes even more forceful, almost rage, with "And the people bowed and prayed..." This brilliantly mirrors the lyrics of the frustrated prophet, whose words are unheard ("But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence") -- so that, by the end, he is yelling in order to try to break through and have his message heard and heeded... ff782bc1db
